LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 16 Washington Redskins 20

The Buccaneers playoff chances were dealt a big blow in week 16 at Washington. Tampa Bay Buccaneers led the Redskins 16–7 early in the fourth quarter, but blew the lead at the end.

Leading 16–13 with six minutes to go, Jacquez Green fumbled a kickoff, turning the ball over. On the next play, Stephen Alexander caught the game-winning touchdown for Washington. Tampa Bay had two last chances to come back, but both times, Trent Dilfer threw interceptions.

The Buccaneers fell to 7–8 on the season, and would need to win in week 17 to keep their playoff hopes alive.
